Smash Season 2

Is anyone watching? and is it good, I've got it on serial link and i'm waiting till the season finishes then watching it all together, I hate waiting a week for a show so I just wanted to know if it's good and is it worth waiting for

I am watching it, i really liked series 1 but you can totally see why this got axed and lost viewers. Series 2 is not a patch on series 1 and a lot of the storylines seem really forced. I dunno, they bought a new EP in to "sort it out" and i think they actually made it a lot worse and took away the best elements of series 1.

I really enjoyed season 2 - it was a bit jarring to see certain key characters/arcs from season 1 be instantly dropped (though I can see why they were), and also the way in which the new major plotline almost instantly appears, but it has its moments, and is worth sticking with (unless Ellis was you favourite character!)

I finished episode 7 and am starting to see why it has been cancelled. After a strong season opening, its story lines have left me feeling mostly uninvolved. Jimmy is an extremely irritating character and the whole Hitlist storyline is boring. I have found myself fast forwarding through most of Debra Messing's storylines too.

Only Ivy, Derek and Karen are interesting, the rest just feels like filler

I loved season one of Smash, but season is not so great. I think it's over now - jumped the shark.

My advice, cos in the end i watched all the remaining episodes, is stick with it. I disliked series 2 at first but i found that later episodes really started to come together and I was very glad i didn't give up.

It is also somewhat of a relief that the final episode does bring some element of closure rather than ending on a cliff hanger (which would have been a disaster).

I think, on reflection that it is good that it only had two seasons. I felt the stories of the characters are told in the episodes made.

I'm on episode 12 of series two and can also see why it was cancelled.

There seem to be way too may sub-plots and twists and turns and features about characters that i am just not interested in that leave me feeling exhausted after an episode. I too loved the diva behaviour and the songs. Guess it has just run its course.
Still a fabulous cast and I adore Megan Hilty.

Why do they keep swapping backwards and forwards between Derek/Karen and Derek/Ivy it's getting really annoying plus so is the whole Jimmy thing. I agree I can see why it was dropped as now Bombshell is up and running where will the story go?

If the show had continued, season 3 would of been about a musical film.

Was just going to post this, not sure id want to see it as it seems quite depressing. They didn't say anything about Katherin McPhee who you would think would be the ticket seller unless it's just industry people like the real Producers etc.

Sigh. I really wanted to like the final episode, but in between the writers' determination to tie up everything and give everyone a happy ending, and the self-referential nonsense of the final number - performing in front of the Smash logo, really?!? - I just couldn't enjoy it.

The final four episodes were a bit of a mess, really - so many storylines suddenly crammed in to so little time.

A shame. I really wanted to love Smash - for all its flaws it did have some great moments - but it all just fell apart towards the end.
